Subject: [PATCH] BUG: pinmux: release only taken pins on error

commit e38d457de7be63e6ced1ea254aa51466deb1fef0
pinctrl: pinmux: Release all taken pins in pinmux_enable_setting

Introduced a bug in the release pin mechanism.
All the pins (taken or not) where released.
For instance, if a i2c function has already taken pins 5 and 6.
And the pins of function PHY are requested (pins 3 4 5 6 7).
The pins 3 and 4 will be taken, pin 5 is already taken, so the function
fails.
And we have pins 3 and 4 release, which is ok. But also pins 5 and 6 !.
And also pin 7 (which will have its mux_usecount to -1...)

This patch reset the original behaviour.
